    Whether you're flying to an island paradise or traveling for business, these packing tips will help you minimize time and maximize space.

Start with the right-sized suitcase

    {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. But if you can't travel light, it's best to choose a bag that can easily accommodate everything you need. Trying to force a full suitcase to shut is a waste of time and energy, especially since you may return with even more stuff, if you like to buy souvenirs.

    Lay everything out before starting

    Lay everything you're taking out on the bed, so you can see exactly what you need to pack and spot any missing items promptly. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}. For folded items, putting layers of tissue between each item will cut down on wrinkles.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#}.

    Begin by putting rolled items in a layer at the bottom of your suitcase. Cushion fragile items like perfume bottles in the middle. Plan to put items you need on arrival at the top end of the case. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.

    Finish with a large top layer

    Lastly, lay a large item like a towel over the tops and tuck it in around the sides. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. It's much easier to close the zipper if you don't have items like belts or laces.

A. Pack your suitcase in layers

B. Then fold or roll each item of clothing

C. Take a moment to assess your needs for this trip

D. So they'll be easy to find when you need them

E. For a short trip, a small carry-on bag is ideal

F. Get everything ready before you start the actual packing

G. This will stop items from sliding around during the journey

    Vacations are important. We need to take time out from work to relax, and just be ourselves. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} We should all be allowed to leave our jobs behind us—at least for a few weeks each year—and just have fun. This might be something as simple as reading a good book in front of a warm fireplace and travelling to the most interesting places on our planet. Whatever we fancy doing is worth taking time out for.

    Workplace stress is on the rise. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} These include disease, depression and even death. We all seem to be running from one place to the next, never finding out where we want to go in the first place. I intend to break that trend in the coming days.

    {#blank#}3{#/blank#} I will sleep late, write, watch movies, drink the occasional glass of wine, and eat to my heart's content ignoring calorie counting. My plan is to just enjoy the fleeting moments of being alive.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Spend your next vacation the way you want. Do what will restore your mental health. You're very valuable to the people who are close to you, and to those who depend on you. Like it or not, we are all interdependent in this great life of ours.

    You are valuable. Just remember that the next time you look at the mirror and take a deep breath. Remind yourself that there will never be anyone like you ever on this earth again.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#} All you have to do is just ask yourself what you want to do.
